Andaval Relief. Stone, Andaval- Niğde, 9th century B.C. An inscription by Suravanis, King of Nahid. Following his name and title, it mentions the training of horse herds and the name of the Tabal king Varpalavas. The place name of modern Niğde is spelled here as “Na-hi’te” in the hieroglyphic inscription. The Taballian Kingdom was one of the late Hittite kingdoms and ruled the region of the modern provinces Kayseri, Niğde, Nevşehir and Aksaray. The city of Tuvanuva/Tyana was the kingdom’s capital, probably the modern Kemerhisar in the province of Niğde. Recovered from the Dışarı Mosque where it was being used as a door lintel.
